Ey MALCOLM BAUER Oregon’s cellar-scrapping Web foots will be back at their old job of putting the damper on would be champions this week-end when they tackle Slats Gill’s second place Beavers at McArthur court. With Oregon State’s championship hopes resting entirely upon their remaining three tilts with Rein hart’s cagers, everything is set up for the lemon-yellow to pull an other Jack-the-giant-killer stunt. Last season when Washington State's Cougars were riding the crest of the wave in the northern division race, the lowly Ducks rose up to smack them three out of four games and drop them one game below Washington in’ the standings. For just such reasons as this coaches of leading teams steer clear of “laty’SeHSun games with the Webfoots. Gill will be more nervous than the average mentor when he sends his pupils against the Ducks because there is no team in the league that Reinhart’s boys get more fun out of upsetting. Staters Have One Win * The Staters pulled the first tilt out of the fire at Corvallis, but not without a scare. Even the most optimistic Orange fans do not expect the Corvallis five to make a clean sweep of the remain ing three battles, a feat which is necessary if the Beavers hope to stay in the running for the pen nant. An added inoentive behind the Oregon five in these final games with Oregon State will be the fact that two regulars will be playing their final conference games against the Orangemen. “Cap” Roberts, candidate for all-confer ence honors, will take his final fling at his traditional rivals, as (Continued on Page Four) Advertising Honorary Pledges Stevens, Rew A joint meeting and banquet for Alpha Delta Sigma, men’s adver tising honorary, and Gamma Alpha Chi, women's advertising honor ary, was held at the Chi Omega house last night.

Chaminade’s brilliant “Scarf Dance,” Merkel's “The Butterfly,” and Leschitisky’s “The Two Larks” made up Miss Kelly’s second group with Heller’s “Tar antelle” as her first selection on the program. Mr. Roduner sang several num bers from his concert of last Thursday. Of these the most in teresting were Kounts’ “The Sleigh,” Griffes’ “Dawn in the Desert,” Faure’s “Chevauche Cos saque” and Schumann’s “Ich Liebe I Dich.” If F.D. Died, Who'd Get Job? Shumacher Conjectures By ROLAND PARKS •'Many complications could arise in our political organizations should certain events take place,” stated Dr. Waldo Schumacher, professor of political science, in answer to questions which have arisen due to the attempted as sassination of President -elect Roosevelt. Under the twentieth amend ment Garner would have auto matically become president and our country would have been without a vice-president for the i next four years. This would ne- j cessitate the election of a new president of the senate by the sen ators. The country would be: without an official “diner out” for four years as that honorary posi-! tion is inherited by the vice-presi dent, Schumacher said. If both Roosevelt and Garner were to be assassinated before1 March 4, the present secretary of. state would become president. Should the double assassination! take place the present president. Hoover, might order Secretary of State Stimson to resign. Then1 Hoover could resign from the! presidency, causing Vice-President1 Curtis to become president. Upon; proper arrangement Curtis could appoint Hoover secretary of state, j This appointment would of course have to be confirmed by the sen ate. Thus on March 4 Secretary i of State Hoover would become the j next president of the United States. Thus our hiatus of constitution and legislative lav/s might bring about many interesting political situations. We must of course use a good many “ifs" and set the 1 stage perfectly. Let us hope, however, that I things go along in the same old normal fashion that we will not have to rack our brains to work political puzzles, Mr. Schumacher. David R. Goodell Wins Appointment To IS aval School By BILL PADDOCK With his appointment to Annap olis by Senator Frederick Steiw|f, David R. Goodell’s boyhood dream was terminated and life-long am bition realized. On January 14 Dave took a 7 hour exam at the Eugene post of fice, and only last Tuesday did he learn by a telegram from Senator Steiwer that he was the chosen one. Next April, probably at Brem erton, Wash., Dave will take his entrance and physical exams. As he puts it, “the first exam I took is to see who knows the most, while the entrance tests are to make sure I know enough.” If the entrance examinations are passed, Dave will enter the academy in June, go through a training period all summer, and start classes in the fall. Dave was the president of his pledge class at the Beta Theta Pi house and his nickname, “Mahat ma Gandhi,” results from his wearing a sheet about during pre initiation. His favorite recreations are football, boxing, handball, dancing, and girls. Goodell was graduated in the January ’32 class of Grant high school, Portland. During his four prep years he made two letters in football and became well known as an amateur boxer. His mother and father are Cap tain and Mrs. G. L. Goodell, 944 Bryce avenue, Portland. Club Hears Plans For Special Week An International week will be held at the University of Oregon early in spring term, Dr. Victor P. Mdrris, faculty adviser of the campus International Relations club, announced last night at a meeting of the club at Interna tional house. Two or three outside speakers will be brought to the campus, and sessions will be held twice a day for five days. Round-table dis cussions on topics of international importance will take place each afternoon, and in the evening lec tures will be given, to be followed by open forums in which stu dents, faculty members, towns people, and visitors may take part. Though the International Rela tions club is sponsor of the plan, other organizations interested in world affairs will be invited to cooperate in carrying it out. The proposed International week will be more than local in inter est, Dr. Morris predicted, as sev eral Portlanders already have vol unteered their support. Four-H club members number ing 926 from 52 Tennessee coun ties sold 1,800 head of cattle for $75,000. First Board of Regents Urged Moderate Study That the first board of regents of the University of Oregon be lieved in intensive rather than ex tensive work by its students is clearly revealed by an entry in the minutes of the board under date of February 5, 1877. This resolu tion was adopted by the regents during the first year of the Uni versity, since the initial session opened in the fall of 1876 when old Deady hall was ready for occupan cy. The resolution in the form of a recommendation to the president and the faculty is as follows; “Resolved, That it is the purpose of the University in graduating students to give them thorough instruction and not crowd them through to graduate, and therefore, we recommend to tne president of the University and the faculty to provide that moderate lessons be given and require them thorough ly learned.” This interesting entry is found in volume 1 at page 28 of the min utes of the regents kept in the ad ministration offices in Johnson hall. Dr. Jchn W. Johnson, after whom the Administration building was named, was at that time presi dent of the University. Jewell Will Speak At 6Mad HatlcrV Banquet Tonight J. L. Casteel To Be Toastmaster; Over 100 Reservations Have Been Made Dr. J. R. Jewell, dean of the school of education, will be the principal speaker at the “Mad Hatter's” banquet given by the Wesley club this evening at 6:30 o’clock at the First Methodist Episcopal church.

Violet Adams is in charge of dec orations. A skit, “The Mad Hatter in the Role of Economist,” will be given by Wally Campbell, the Mad Hat ter; Audrey Clark, Alice; Clark Irwin, the March Hare, and Doyle Pigg, the Dormouse. Young Democrats To Hold Banquet In celebration of the entrance of a Democrat into the White House, the Young Democratic league of Lane county will hold an inaugural banquet March 4 at the Osburn hotel. Plans for the banquet were made at a meeting of the league held Thursday night at the home of Elise Schroeder, secretary. A number of Democrats of na tion-wide prominence have been invited to attend, including Vic Meyers, Washington’s new lieuten ant-governor, and Senator James A. Reed of Missouri. Violet Ellis is general chairman for the ban quet. A paper on bi-metallism was read by Nathan Berkham, presi dent of the club, arid a social hour followed the business meeting. Entire State Is Called Campus By Extension Tohil Enrollment More Than 3000 CLASSES IN 5 CITIES Aid Is Offered Through General Correspondence Courses, Says Dan Clark The general extension division, which serves all state educational institutions, now has an enroll ment of more than one thousand Undents in extension classes, and learly two thousand in correspon dence courses. These figures were revealed yes terday by Dan E. Clark, assistant director of extension work and professor in history. Actual classes are held in five cities in Oregon. Most of these classes artj at night, enabling adults who are employed in the Jay time to attend. The Portland extension center has been in existence for more than 20 years, and employs six full time professors, 24 members of faculties of state institutions, and 23 experts in various fields noL .’onnected with institutions. Eugene has three classes, a his tory of China and Japan, taught by Professor Harold J. Noble, a course in social interactions, taught by S. R. Jameson, and Eng lish drama, taught by R. Horn. In Hood River there are three classes, covering modern European history, elementary French, and sociology. The sociology course is taught by W. G. Beattie, head of social welfare in the extension work, with aij office on this cam pus. Salem has three classes also. Medford has one class in modern European drama, taught by Ar thur S. Taylor of the Southern Oregon normal school faculty. The correspondence courses cov er much material. Among these are sciences, economics, literature, history, journalism, languages, mathematics, and others. During the last academic year, ending June 30, 1932, there was a total enrollment of 1962 different individuals in correspondence courses. The courses are arranged to fit in with campus courses, so that students missing a term may not lose out entirely. Students, especially during the summer, take advantage of the correspondence work. Summer school sessions come under the general extension divi sion, also. Information regarding the coming sessions has not yet been released. Law Students To Hold Jig at Canipa Shoppe At a meeting of the law school student body yesterday morning, called tty Preston Gunther, presi dent, further plans for the law school’s winter social function were discussed.

(Continued on Page Four) Walsh Named as Prosoect For Interior Cabinet Post (Editor's note: The U. S. depart ment of interior includes the of fice of education.! By SIGKID ARNE WASHINGTON. Feb. 16.—(AP) Though many names have come forward in speculation as to the lew administration's cabinet, there is only one mentioned for the job of postmaster general. •lames A. Farley, chairman of the national Democratic commit tee, seems destined for the position if advance indications and past customs are to be believed. It is traditional that the mana ger of the president-elect's cam paign be named to the postmaster generalship since the position is> i projection of his campaign activ ities. The department is the gov ernment's closest contact with the rank and file due to the patronage possibilities. Necessarily a primary interest of Farley will be in working for the re-election of Roosevelt in 1936. But pressing close on his political duties will be the recur- j ing controversy in congress over j federal aid given those holding air and merchant marine mail con tracts, a condition accentuated at present because of the large and increasing deficit in the depart ment. To the desk of the man Roose velt names as attorney general, heading the department of justice, will come all the problems asso ciated with breaking new legal ground. *• The major work of that cabinet post would have to busy itself with Lhe changes if any, which may be made in prohibition. Some of the proposed changes would return administration of prohibition to the individual states. (Continued on Page Three) Wagner Numbers To Commemorate Composer’s Death Orchestra To Play Compositions At Sunday Concert; Program Free Two of the most popular of Richard Wagner’s orchestral com positions, the overture to “Tann hauser” and the Prelude to “Lo hengrin,” are included on the con cert to be given by the University Symphony orchestra at McArthur court Sunday afternoon. The Wagner numbers are intended as commemoration of the fiftieth an niversary of the great composer’s death, which occurred on Febru ary 13, 1883. Saint-Saens, the French con temporary of Wagner, will share honors on the program. In addi tion to the Saint-Saens’ concerto in G-minor for piano and orches tra which will feature Dr. John J. Landsbury as soloist, the orches tra will present Saint-Saens’ “Danse Bacchanale” from “Sam son and Delilah.” The friendly reception given to numbers played by a small stringed orchestra in the orchestra program of last month will lead to a repetition next Sunday. Delbert Moore will direct a stringed en semble in Percy Grainger’s edu cated Irish jig, "Molly on the Shore.”, The program, like others in the A. S. U. O. series, will be free to students and the public. Halbert To Give Concert Monday As soloist for the University Symphony orchestra and for the recent concert by the Eugene Gleemen, as well as by his own individual recitals, Howard Hal bert, violinist, has deservedly earned campus fame for his fine workmanship. However, he has not only earned campus fame, but has also, according to Rex Under wood, University orchestra direc tor, “made a name for himself as one of the outstanding young vio linists on the coast." Monday night at 8 o’clock in the school of music auditorium, Mr. Halbert appears for the sec ond time this term. Accompanied by Cora Moore, he is presented in recital by the University school of music. Selections from Corelli’s “So nata D-major" and Bach’s “6th Solo Symphony,” compositions by Kreisler, Wieniawski, and Sara sate, are perhaps the most out standing on his program. Dunn To Speak at Salem Professor Frederic S. Dunn will leave for Salem this afternoon to make an address in that city this evening at 7:30. He will speak under the auspices of the Pacific Lodge of A. F. and A. M. on the subject of “Mithraism and the An cient Mysteries.” Cabinet Names Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland (above) and Thomas J. VValsli of Montana (below), possibilities for Franklin D. Roosevelt’s cabinet. One of them might be appointed to the post of secretary of the Interior, under which jurisdiction comes the department of educa tion. Pianist, Violinist Present Recital Participants in last night’s stu dent recital held in the school'of music auditorium were Frances Mackin, pianist, and Vivian Ma lone, violinist, and Edna Whilmer, accompanist. An ease and assurance charac terized Miss Malone’s perform ance, while the enjoyment of her playing increased by the evident feeling which she put into her music. Her numbers of last night consisted of Bach- Kreisler’s “Grave,” the dreamy, mysterious “Melodie Arabe” by Glazounov, Manen’s clever “Le Cou Cou” in which harmonics are used to imi tate the call of the cuckoo, and Veracini's “Sonata-d-minor.” In Bach’s three “Inventions” Miss Mackin displaced in the clear cut trills and runs an excellent finger technique. Two Chopin numbers, "Prelude” and a rhyth mic "Waltz,” and Schumann’s pounding “Ende Vom Leid” made up her second group. In the last group she included Kreisler’s “Liebesfreud” (Love’s Joy). This last number is one of the most popular numbers which Kreisler has written, and though originally composed for violin, is delightful as a piano solo. Dr. Bossing In Portland Dr. Nelson L. Bossing, professor of education, is spending a few days in Portland, in the interests of the campus Y. M. C. A. He is working in collaboration with Charles L. Crumley, secretary of the Corvallis campus Y. M. The trip is concerned with getting financial aid for both organiza tions. Leniency May Be Shown On 8:00 Deadline Books May Be Relumed Lr.le, Says Douglass NEED VALID REASON Librarian States Reserve Volume Problem To Be Settled in Near Future By CYNTHIA LILJEQVIST There is a possibility that you may be able to keep out your li brary books until 9 a. m. hence forth, provided you have valid rea sons for doing' so. M. H. Douglass, head librarian, told the Emerald yesterday that leniency may be shown in tfie re turning of books if the student can present an adequate reason for keeping out a volume until 9 at the time when he signs for it at night. The matter first was investigat ed by the Emerald several days ago, when an ever increasing number of students asked about the possibilities :of a 9 o'clock deadline. Those advocating the change argue that many students prefer studying late and then sleeping late the next morning. This pro gram is upset they say, if books be returned by 8:15. There is also the contingency of illness and un avoidable circumstances that pre vent or make it difficult to return the books at the present specified time. Situation Discussed Those opposing the change feel that there is no need of opening the libraries at 8 if books that are in constant circulation are not re turned at that time. Often stu dents who come at 8 a. m. for books are those that were unable to get them the night before, thus making it necessary that they be returned early. According to Mrs. Helen Ever ett, head of the circulating library at Condon, "approximately 60 stu dents use the library before 9 a. 1 m. This number should be ample reason for retaining the 8:15 rul ing." Sixty Books Per Night On an average of 60 books are taken out each night from Condon. From this number three or four are usually late. From the 70 to 100 that are checked out from the old library, 5 or 6 are usually late. A check by Emerald workers revealed this yesterday. The present Sunday ruling has been used by those opposing the change. Previously students felt (Continued on Page Three) Dr. Frank M. Brooks Dies of Heart Trouble Dr. Frank Martin Brooks, 64, graduate of the University of Oregon medical school in 1890, and a physician and surgeon in Portland for 22 years died recent ly at his home, 320 Albermarle terrace of heart disease. Dr. Brook.' was a native Oregon ian, born in Salem of parents who crossed the plains to Oregon in 1864. After graduation from the University he took post-graduate work in hospitals in Paris, Prague, London, Vienna, and Edinburgh. Prior to locating in Portland Dr. Brooks practiced medicine for two years at Camas, Wash., and for several years at Silverton, Ore. He also served as mayor of Silver ton in 1899-1900. Only Business Men Gain by Imperialism9 SaysDean Allen “I can see what it costs, but! I’ve never been able to see just what anybody got out of it.” This was the theme of a talk on "Im perialism" made by Dean Eric W. Allen of the school of journalism to members of the campus Inter national Relations club last night at International house. He showed that the only ones who gain by an imperialistic pol icy are the business men, who profit from the protection given their property interests, and the officials, whose salaries are part of the cost of that protection. The taxpayers of the imperialistic na tion take a tremendous loss. Dean Allen pointed out that the United States spends $35,000,000 annually in out-and-out defense for the Philippine Islands, with which we have a trade of only $200,000,000 (including both im ports and exports) in the highest year, worth not more than 10 or 15 million dollars to the business men and scarcely anything to the ordinary citizen. "Hearst is bad both ways,” the speaker declared, in answer to a question as to the possible influ ence on world, affairs of the news paper owner in the next four years. “He wants to cut off for eign trade, but he thinks we should interfere everywhere, jingo istically and blatantly. I think we should trade with everybody and conduct ourselves circum spectly.” As to the “benevolence” of American imperialism, Dean Allen said, “There is an aspect from which it may be said that Amer ica’s imperialism is the most vi cious of all, because the most un called for. We can find some ex cuse for England on her small island, but we did it just for fun. We did it because we read Kip ling’s poems, because we read Hearst’s and Pulitzer’s newspa (Continued on Page Three)
